QualityStocks News - Great Plains Holdings, Inc. (GTPH) Leverages Diverse Business Model for Multiple Revenue Streams
QualityStocks would like to highlight Great Plains Holding, Inc. (OTCQB: GTPH). The company operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries: Ashland Holdings, LLC, focused on the real estate sector; and LiL Marc, Inc., maker of the "LiL Marc" training urinal for toddler boys. This diversification model enables Great Plains to achieve multiple revenue streams and consistently increase hard assets.
In the company’s news,
Great Plains Holdings’ business strategy consists of targeting and acquiring controlling interests in small to middle market companies. Great Plains Holdings maintains a diverse business model through two wholly owned subsidiaries for multiple revenue streams and for consistent hard asset growth. These two subsidiaries are Ashland Holdings, LLC, a real estate investment company that acquires, develops, and manages residential and commercial properties; and Lil March, Inc., which engages in the manufacture and sales of the Lil Marc training urinal for young boys in the United States.
At present, Ashland Holdings’ real estate portfolio consists of the following:
• One 1,400-square-foot corporate office building
• One 800-square-foot warehouse for LiL Marc’s operations
• Two adjacent parcels of land, one of which includes a manufactured home that is rented out for additional income
The real estate investment company’s business plan calls for targeting the American Southeast, South, and Midwest for acquiring more real estate holdings. Ashland Holdings also made a foray into oil and gas leases with its completion of a private placement investment in TexStar -Preferred Partner Joint Venture III, LP related to a 150-acre Texas lease in Guadalupe County, Texas. Ashland Holdings will receive income based on net revenue on the lease. It is estimated that around 2.99 million barrels of oil are available for extraction at this lease. Recent oil spot price quotes put the extractable oil reserves at a value of over $300 million. There are about fourteen wells actively producing on the lease at present.
For LiL Marc, Great Plains Holdings has made the LiL Marc training urinal available for purchase through LiLMarc.com as well as through select retail channels. Great Plains Holdings’ management team has rolled out an aggressive marketing plan as for the LiL Marc training urinal, and is building a client list of retailers with brick and mortar stores and other consumer outlets to participate in the broader retail market.
For acquisition targets, Great Plains Holdings looks for investment opportunities primarily within the manufacturing, distribution, consumer products, and real estate spaces. Ideal acquisition targets meet narrowly-tailored criteria, including: having an experienced management team in place; having significant upside growth potential; having low risk for becoming obsolete in their technologies or products; and others factors.
Currently, Great Plains Holdings is looking to acquire private and profitable businesses owned by baby boomers looking to retire. According to Pew Research, since January 2011 roughly 10,000 additional baby boomers reach the threshold of retirement age on a daily basis. That is a trend set to persist until around 2030. A 2007 business owner survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau also provides further illumination. The survey found that in 2007, 36.5% of surveyed business owners were 55 years of age or older and 29.6% of surveyed business owners were between 45 and 54 years of age. Great Plains Holdings will expand its portfolio by offering a viable business exit strategy option for these business owners as they prepare themselves for their next stage of life.
